bruce,
it is very strange. Could you please try installing only libnetsnmp and hpliplite in a pristine Lucid Puppy -using the pfix=ram booting option- ? I wonder if your system got borked somehow...
Thank you.

I did it in the past, for puppy's up to version 4.3.1. Full hplip requires many dependencies and it is hard -at least for me- assembling all of them for recent versions and flavours of puppy. I am not in the mood now... Sorry!

so i downloaded the latest of everything, it recognized my printer (finally ) and then i tried to print a test page and got the error

Code:

stopped
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed"

I'm using guydog (but this happened as well when i was using lupu)
is there a way to remedy this? all the google links are opensuse jargon i dont understand

I do not know about guydog, but I have checked my Photosmart c4280 to work in lupu 5.25, installing hpliplite-3.11.10.
BTW, if you prefer to use the latest hpliplite-3.11.12, then you should execute this command:

lluamco, I am considering installing hpliplite in a new Testing version of Lucid Plus (the one with all the drivers). Is there anything I should know other than to install it according to your instructions? Is it just install and it works? Thanks.

Playdayz,
Yes, the installation according the instructions is all you should do. Then, installing the printer in cups, of course. It could be convenient to compile hpliplite in your lucid basis to avoid the need of symbolic links of mismatching libraries (respect wary).
